Nothing is impossible - but what matters is : Is it feasible?
You may end up with cutting up your phone, adding hardware, changing the firmware and so on and on and on......only to discover in the end that it would have been much cheaper and simpler to get a new phone.
Oh, and i forgot to add the risks as well.

we've had many discussions on this since the T610 but so far I don't recall anyone ever doing it, or even attempting to do it
its not just hardware issues either, the phone software would have to know about the extra memory somehow

actually, while I agree it is not practical by any meaning of the word to add memory expansion to a phone, generally speaking memory architecture in phones is similar to pc's, in that the addressing system is usually capable of addressing memory well beyond the actual physical memory installed at manufacture. Just like a PC can have more memory added to it without updating the motherboard or operating system.
As far as file systems go, the fat16 is usually the format for internal memory, so the phone may not be able to format or read memory above 1GB, but this would be because of the file system limitation. If the phone firmware was rewritten to support fat 32 then the physical memory architecture could be used up to it's theoretical limit or 2TB's (limit of fat32)
However I am certainly not encouraging anyone to do this, you'd have to atleast be a programmer for SE or a serious reverse engineer with lot's of expensive testing equipment, money, time and other things most of us are short of. In short, it would probably cost the entire development budget of one new phone just to add memory expansion to an existing phone that doesn't have it!!!
So it's one of those "it can be done, but why?" things. It's not a "hack" of the nature of Far Manager and file system access. It's a complete rebuild of the phone software with some tricky fabricating thrown in.
